DDJ-200 - Sampler not being selected (not loading)

The performance pads work for Hot Cue, Beat Loop, Pad FX1 but does nothing when Sampler is selected (it remains on whatever was last selected e.g. Hot Cue).

This happens for both turntables. I closed and restarted rekordbox a few times but nothing changes.

I'm running Windows 10 on an i7 10th gen Lenova YOGA laptop (12Gb RAM)

I was using rekordbox 5.8.2 and updated to 5.8.3 and the problem still persisted.

PS - Sampler loads when used wit the same DDJ-200 Controller on an iPhone with WeDJ
